NEW LIGHT WARNS IF TRUCK IS SLOWING

A new caution light for trucks was unveiled to about 100 people here Tuesday.

"I have no doubt that this product would help save lives," said Mike Mundy, manager of the Martinsville office of Penske truck leasing.

Emory Lariszy of Stuart designed the device, which takes the place of a brake light to warn motorists that a truck is slowing. This caution light could reduce the number of rear-end accidents involving trucks, Mundy said.
